MY BELIEFS

We as people are always gaining beliefs about the world around us, but there is no way, at the onset, to know if these beliefs are true or false. It is only by comparing our beliefs to the revelations we see about the world that we can test whether or not our beliefs have merit

This is a mashup of Galations 4:16 and a quote from Bill Nye's reddit AMA. We constantly meet people who believe things contrary to what we know to be true. But we can't really know if what they say is truly untrue, or just a result of our own confirmation bias. We must be open.

Matthew 7:1-2. It is important to look at others fairly. For you can't know how your opinions on others affect their opinions of you. Others will see that you judge harshly by standards which you yourself cannot keep. Judging others for your errors is the essence of hypocrisy.

Romans 12:9. Dwell always on the best of your thoughts and actions. For dwelling on these good things can lead us to perform them again, and those good actions lead to further good actions. Always attempt to set yourself in cycles that are virtuous instead of vicious.

James 2:26. It is easy to tell others what they should do and it is easy to think about our own beliefs and sculpt them into something beautiful. But if we never put these beliefs into action, then we are of no more use to the world than a man who believes in nothing at all.

Ecclesiastes 9:10. We are only given one opportunity at life, so we should all try to live deep and suck out the marrow of life. As far as we can tell, their isn't another one following this. None of us wishes to find, upon dying, that we had never truly lived.

1 Corinthians 13:11. We all believe foolish things as children. We look at our world with eyes that have never before seen and every new experience becomes our standard. But we learn, eventually, and we must have the courage to admit to our foolishness.

Matthew 16:26. Great rewards require great sacrifice, this we all know. But some rewards carry too heavy a price. Do not forget that rewards in life are meaningless. Soon enough you will be gone and forgotten and the only thing left of your reward is the pain it left in its wake.

Mark 12:21. We cannot ever truly know the effect our actions will cause on another. There can be any number of spiraling consequences for all that we do. But if we act in a way that we would approve of, then we can at least be certain that we did the best we are capable of.
